Jesus explained that the Word from God needed to be implemented to have any effect (Matt. 7:26). He accused the religious leaders of making the Word of God of no effect by their cultural attitudes and lifestyles (Matt. 15:6). We need to get back to the practice of seeing God's word as a signpost pointing us to Jesus and the experience in life of what God has said (John 5:39). This is the third in this series.
